Jonathan Thurston Angry With NRL

- Johnathan Thurston has lashed out at NRL authorities, accusing them of being part of a conspiracy to get an all-Sydney Grand Final.
North Queensland co-captain Jonathan Thurston claims Queensland's State of Origin dominance was behind the refereeing howler which helped knock the Cowboys out of the NRL finals.
In a bizarre rant sure to attract some sort of sanction from the NRL, Thurston took conspiracy theories over the seven-tackle try awarded to the Sharks to a whole new level in Brisbane on Sunday.
The Test and Queensland pivot claimed NSW's lack of success was filtering through to retribution in NRL games, with the Cowboys on the receiving end of poor refereeing decision in two consecutive years in finals.
"You can see it, I'm not the only one that can see it, it's there for everyone to see," Thurston told reporters.
"While Queensland dominate at State of Origin level, NSW is crying out for something and they seem to be getting it.
"State of Origin is killing the game, no doubt.
"It's what the media wants, and fans in NSW want - South Sydney and Roosters grand final.
"That's what the game needs, they're crying out for it.
"If you're playing for a team outside of Sydney you're fighting up against it, no doubt about it.
"The boys feel it, we all feel it, it's tough."
Neil Henry suggested conspiracy theories against non-Sydney teams during Saturday night's press conference, with NRL head of football Todd Greenberg indicating he was unlikely to be fined for the comments.

usually the losing team will always find some fault with the ref, but a seventh tackle try can't be argued against cowboys got screwed plain and simple. I don't blame JT for being upset about losing that way
MANCHESTER UNITED no one actually cares people play soccer because it’s easy to play. I want you to grab a footy and run it straight at sivo then you’ll see why people play soccer and not league
@MANCHESTER UNITED F.C the fuck you on about? This is footy, this ain't no fucking twinkle toes shit with a round ball.
Pick that fucker up and run it.
Fucking poms
@@XeZeGamster1o1 lol, soccer is easy to play, hahahahahahaha, I love rugby but seriously, soccer requires far more skill.
@@Matt-vr5zk lol soccer easier than rugby is the dumbest thing I've heard this year, soccer maybe the most popular buts contact and rules are one of the hardest sports.
I’m a Sydney fan and NSW blues fan, but I 100% agree with thurston. This game is becoming a joke
"they want a souths vs rabbitohs grand final"
id like to see that one JT
Haha azzbot
lebgend2009 You Do realise Melbourne is in Victoria But i do agree on the fact that Sydney is the Grand Final Place it should be Queensland then NSW etc
Love seeing you hide the truth and resort to making fun of his speech xD
+KylleisOwnage Yes i know but if you read my comment correctly would you see i wrote Melbourne and manly grand final wasnt a sellout crowd cause it wasnt 2 nsw teams.please read again.
I agree with what JT was saying but yeah that was pretty funny lol
South Sydney and Rabbitohs grand final LOL
probs roosters and rabbitohs actually..
Go the rabbitohs
Lol
@@liamstoneham1733 yeah bro 2021 premier’s (hopefully)
Jesus christ this was 7 year ago already!? Time flies
South Sydney and Rabbitohs are the same team, simple mistake JT xx
I'm with JT but I think his drunk in this clip 😂
Cowboys getting screwed, give us something new this happens every week! Lol the NRL is a joke I’m here after the 2019 grand final and as a cowboys fan I could not care less about the raiders but wow what a terrible game, this league is a joke and rigged for the rooster.
Shut up
The roosters will probably win again this year 2020 has being shit
@@pottsie_era nope got that wrong
yeah, and melbourne get it too, its almost like for some games, the nrl tells the refs that one of the teams should win, its fucked and bias and you can see it in origin too, i've even seen games where QLD have won, but nsw got every leg up possible
Like he Said while QUEENSLAND dominate in origin level NSW need something for themselves. Good on ya JT👍
Also keep in mind the NRL refs didn't have to, and hadn't been doing so, verbalise each tackle count so that's even more reason why the players should have been keeping their own track. Hell this wasn't the first miscount this season, back in April the Cowboys themselves had a 8-tackle set against Broncos due to a miscount. Given this fact that the refs are not infallible, and that players can potentially miss calls from the ref, it is only smart for players to keep some kind of track themselves
last year, i wasn't too happy with jt's comments- this year, man, i sympathise with him- 3 years in a row
Nah it is true. With the hype of the current ladder in the game at the moment. There is a hype about the Souths winning the grand final with Manly or even Sydney meeting them at the end. I'm a Newcastle boy but seeing the Rabbits win is something I want to see
Just how much concentration do you think it bloody takes to keep track of the tackles? And keep in mind these are meant to be professional players who have likely played the game since they were kids having certainly played at times without having someone call out the count for them. It's their job to play the game and knowing the tackle count is an important factor for both teams, and not just for the last tackle either.
Am I the only one who thought the first tackle was counted twice here?
Seemed they counted when Feki (Winger) bumped off a player as a completed tackle, but he got up and ran again :S
Naa it wasnt 2 times because there was a run before that tackle but they didnt show it haha. At the start of the video you can see a guy push a couple of guys off then play the ball and then it went to the winger
yeah too right
They called 4th 2 times I believe
Little did he know a grand final with the Broncos and Cowboys would come 2 years later
Instead of admitting they were wrong they changed the rules....
Yes I expect them to know how many tackles are in the set themselves, relying solely on the ref is quite frankly stupid as the player may miss the ref's count due to the distance between them and/or background noise in the stadium (crowds aren't exactly silent you know). Hell since they are the ones actually playing, and are apparently professionals, they should be able to tell how many there have been since the start of the set, we're not talking rocket science here.
What about coffs harbour Thurston
I couldnt agree any less with you. I felt sorry for the Cowboys but feel even worse for the Warriors.
But thats N.R.L. football for ya!
Beau new too🤣🤣😂cracks me up ledge
Hahaha the comments from the blues fans are classic. I'm pretty sure Paul gallen is the hands down winner of the biggest sook trophy but hey whatever. Who's had the shield for the past 8 years ya loooossseerrsss
Ijester80 Your just a stuck up Qlders because you didnt get 9 in row
how sad theirs always 2044
theirs always 2015*
Nah mate, the biggest sook trophy goes to all the Queensland supporters who got the biff banned from Rugby league because Nate miles got a few love taps on the chin, that rule change was a direct result of Queensland media bias and cry baby supporters, i'll bet you were one of the thousands of fuckwits complaining to the NRL board to get the rule changed, so congrats i guess?.
Crusaderfan132 yeah were stuck up caz we only won 8 times...in a row.
AussieEvil88 screw you we all know Paul Gallen deserves the biggest sook trophy he sucks ass he can't even take freaking it on he is a dick
If this was in Super League, they'd make him apologise and fine him £1000
Its worth having a sook about. A really bad mistake cost them a possible grand final, its totally worth a rant.
Seriously, you are expecting the players to count how many tackles they have made? What's the point of having referees than if your wanting the players to count the number of tackles. It is not the players job to count, it is the officials. The players should be able to rely on the officials to correctly count the amount of tackles instead of having to rely on themselves as well as playing the game!
well said Jonno..
You say the players must keep in mind what plays are going to happen, does the tackle count not affect this? Do teams not typically attempt a kick late in the tackle count to avoid a turnover? Does the fullback not need to field kicks from the opposition? Knowing the tackle count doesn't take any deep concentration.
And not once did I say the refs weren't at fault, but some of the blame is shared with the players for not appealing the try at the time as they try to do every other time.
please tell me he was drunk for this one?!
he sounds drunk
One good reason? How about the fact that they have to defend and the contribution of counting the number of tackles would be stupid on the behalf of referees. Honestly, this is the big league and players are running hard and fast, it is their main priority as a player to focus on tackling and allowing few metres as possible. Additional counting, would not allow the players to excel in defending as their focus would not principally be focusing on tackling.
Did he say a south Sydney and rabbitohs grand final? Lol
As much as it’s wrong it’s also not the whole reason they lost it was six minutes in and there was plenty of time to turn it around
No way to justify that from either side, but i respect your opinion regardless
It was actually roosters and manly in the final!
hahaha 59 seconds - Souths and Rabbitohs grand final !!! JT is off his head ......... :)
+potter tubs he was meaning dogs and rabbits
lol it was in the 7th minute of the game sorry johnno but you had plenty of time to win the game. Up the sharkies 🦈
I think he MEANT to say Souths and Rabbitohs to sum it up quickly and to show how ridiculous and desperate the NSWRL (NRL / (a bullshit front term) really are...
Understand where hes coming from.. 1 year blunder fair enough but 2 years in a row would make even the humblest of champions (Johnathon Thurston) confused and angry..
NSW are getting what exactly?
Thurston 2013 : "The NRL is corrupt, they are crying out for a Sydney Grand Final"
Thurston 2015 : Wins Grand Final with North Queensland in an all Queensland grand final 🤷♀️.
I agree Johathan.. NRL cheats
Same
JT's onto it!! He had every right to be gutted!! It was what it was & if you noticed his reaction when the Cowboys got screwed in the Finals again this year(2014), he didn't batt an eyelid, he just moved on, knowing that he couldn't do anything about it anyway!!! #NoSurprises
I remember that 2014, semi.. When at 30all with less than ten to go.. The roosters strip penalty when SBW loses the ball.. Then that BULLSHIT knock on call with a min to go... Would have been the biggest comeback in history after being 30-0 down... And don't forget when the cows got screwed over in the 2004 GF qualifier..
Ik its a union ref
This is rich coming from a Queenslander. The exact same thing happens in Origin, JT. Get fucking use to it. We've had to for 8 fucking years. By the way, the strung out on something here, lol.
Ahh those 8 series wins by Qld was fair & square,
But the Sharks win was unfair so JT bitterness is justified so leave JT alone.
Oh please that is far from a good reason. The refs run throughout the entire game all whilst trying to keep a close eye on the ball and players themselves, hell you could argue they have more to concentrate on than a player and yet they still count the tackles. Since this is big league the players are obviously experienced which makes it far easier for them to keep track themselves which doesn't take much focus, especially since only a few typically get actively involved in a play anyway.
I have a lot of respect for JT, even though I go for nsw I don't agree with what he's saying about match fixing I just think the refs are fucking stupid sometimes+don't call him shit just because you don't agree with what he said once.
If you think being a Queensland based club team is bad try being a New Zealand based team. 100% biased against NZ
DarkKnyght23 How?
DarkKnyght23 No it's every non sydney/nsw based teams
All I have to say is money talks, and Queensland seem to like slipping theirs into pockets. They won 6 fair and square in my books, we were outplayed; but, the last two years we had the deciding game ripped out our fucking hands by the referees and it's a disgrace to the game. Queensland is a disgrace to the game. We were the better team, but I guess we need deeper pockets.
NRL is a fuck up of a game sometimes
still makes me lol
He got what he wanted in 2015 ❤ QLD final and the win
It only gets worse from here, for QLD Thusto...
Looks pretty stupid considering every single team in the GF this year isn't a Sydney team.
+Alex Lynch This was two years ago lol
lebgend2009 No mate. You really are a "dumb human being" I was saying that these claims are invalid because although last year there were only Sydney teams (2014) THIS year (2015) there are only Queensland teams. Dumb ass.
Zacmick123 You think I don't realize that? I'm saying that his pathetic claims at conspiracy are obviously invalid as every team in the grand final this year (2015) are Queensland teams.
@alex, that's the point he made this claim 2 years prior to 2015 grand final. Dumb ass
lebgend2009 Yes, but what you don't realize idiot is I'm commenting on the fact of how stupid the claims are. If there was a "Conspiracy" to have only Sydney teams in a grand final, it wouldn't just change over two years you fucking idiot. He is just sulking because of one bad decision and the fact that his team weren't good enough to make it.
fair dinkum too mate
Jonathon "it's a conspiracy" Thurston
Well then Cowboys must be in on the rigging, 13 of them on the field and not one of them appealed the try which shows they didn't even keep track of the count. Seriously 13 bloody "professional" players who can't keep track of something so basic and important as the tackle count themselves, how can you explain this? The Cowboys need to stop bitching about everyone else and just accept their share of responsibility in the count going unchecked as they could have taken to the ref when it happened.
He's actually right, 2014 NSW win origin NSW team win grand final, once they've got NSW on top they let the finals be fair again
How about we get ourselves hopefully a celebrity like How Russell crowe is to South Sydney . Pretty sure he loves them so much he would add in personal funds for great players to join the bunnies . Hopefully us other teams might have celebrities to help level the playing field with the Bunnies. Who knows who might join especially from a fan point of view themselves . CELEBRITIES= Must see or can we be friends it might just work for all clubs themselves now that , that Bunny is out of the hat.
Up the sharks
There is biased against the melbourne storm buy the NRL they dont want the grand final win going to victoria!
Never mind this us new zealanders want another team... we want cronk jt gallen smith slater and inglis too...we not asking for much so hurry up an give it..
+Zion Tokona yeah good luck bruh
Lol
It was probilbly a 7 tackle set
this happened before that rule was in place.
This was before the rule was in
with ya jt up the cowboys
how about that trip you did during the game thurston... no nothing... hmmm didnt think so
Dont do interviews drunk!
At the end of the day , you should of scored more points on the board then complaining about the refs decision. Plus State of origin has nothing to do with this argument .
Wut. At the end of the day they DID score more LEGIT points than the opposition. The refs "decision" wasnt a decision it was a bona fide mistake that cost the refs their jobs the following week. There are refereeing decisions that you can apply your logic to such as the finals loss to the Roosters this year, what happened last year with the 7 tackles and the Manly game the year previously are an embarassment to the code and undermines the wins. The SoO comment wasn't smart though.
The roosters game was Cleary a forward , your just a Cowboys fan , suck it up XD
+Toby Roberts well from my point of view it was lol , well that's all over now man , Cowboys has a chance now to win grand final so yea
South sydney and rabbitohs grand final lol
i think the nrl refs want qld to win state of origin- the state of origin game 1 refereeing was terrible
Just game 1.
How drunk is he in this clip?
I wouldn't be blaming state of origin for the cowboys getting screwed, but the fact that ANZ stadium hosts the grand final and 2 sydney teams will provide the biggest crowd/income for the NRL.
Salt 🧂
Mate, i feel for JT but if you think they get picked on? look at the Worriers, anythime there in aus the refs will kill them anyway they can :L
Because obviously the refs can get things wrong, players know this better than anyone, and because a player can quite possibly miss a ref's call. You talk as if it takes some kind of extraneous mental concentration to keep track of the count, it does not and gets much easier with experience of which these players should have plenty of so really it should come as second nature to them, not to mention that only a few of the 14 players will typically actually take an active part in a single play.
These rugby people worldwide are just doin nothin all year long, u know, just : have a family, have a Safe ass bla bla, at least cut your hair u adult guy
Is he drunk?
No
I agree that's the refs job players shouldn't be doing the tackle counts an fuck nsw try talkn when the streak has comes to an end an this ain't got nothing to with Gordon talis well go roosters get that title sbw an rodger wel deserve mighty premiers this year
Overrated sook. All the times nsw got robbed in origin, and they aren’t claiming that it’s a conspiracy lol
Ref's are cheats
who cares if its rabbitohs and roosters in the finals, you cant change the final decision and there is always next year. jt grow up and stop crying,
If you didn't give up close to 15meters a tackle (most of which hit ups) they wouldn't of been in a try scoring position anyway
Lol Queensland's mad lolololololol
jt is just a sook
JT's off his face
Gotta love jt but come on man do you think the refs really care about a all nsw grand final? Or do you think they were paid or told to make qld teams loose in the finals? Just a rare mistake that everyone at there work makes but I highly doubt they intentionally did it so qld Arnt in the finals
If you put yourself in a position to dominate that game then the Refs mistake would not matter.
